Chapter 339: The last cannonball was the Hidden ship itself.
Chapter 339
After Nan XiangWan returned to the drama crew in the evening, she entered workaholic mode, with makeup and shooting starting every day at 6 AM sharp.
After two days, she had caught up on the progress that had fallen behind because of her variety show.
Today they were making up for the scenes with Lan Tianyou, but this time, he had put on layers of protective gear inside.
Before the cameras rolled, Nan XiangWan stood expressionlessly on the side, watching Lan Tianyou put on protective clothing and knee pads.
Hua Ying and others were also onlooking and laughing.
Lan Tianyou: "What are you laughing at? I'm the one getting hit, not you!"
Previously, Nan XiangWan's sword qi attack from afar had hurt him, so afterward whenever he had scenes with Nan XiangWan, whether they were fight scenes or not, Lan Tianyou would gear up fully, wishing he could put on armor.
Today they were shooting Yin Zun who had been eroded and mutated by the Zerg. The makeup and various props made his whole body look disgusting and terrifying.
The originally normal human face was also painted with patterns resembling old tree roots, protruding unevenly from the skin surface, extremely hideous.
With everything ready, cameras rolling!
Nan XiangWan's silly aura vanished in an instant. She was now Red Eagle Major General.
After stabbing through the heart of Yin Zun's human form with a sword, she strode forward. At this time, the Titan Mothership was under attack by the Zerg, with alarms continuously sounding around.
The left wing was already damaged!
But just after she had taken two steps, the fallen Yin Zun on the ground moved.
His body twisted into an odd posture lying on the ground.
Right after that, his body swelled as if something was about to burst out!
Red Eagle looked back sharply.
Her fingers were on the hilt of her sword, poised to strike!
But Yin Zun suddenly opened his mouth wide, spewing some liquid that corroded the floor.
He had actually corroded a hole on the mothership's interior floor. His body twisted as if boneless, drilling swiftly into the hole heading to lower decks.
Yin Zun had mutated, turning into a half human, half Zerg monster.
He had completely betrayed the Federation, and was freely moving about the Titan Mothership, rampantly killing using the physical advantages of the Zerg.
The Zerg outside were also coordinating the attack. The Titan Mothership had slowed under internal and external threats!
Feng Kai Ji: "Good! Cut!"
They took a lunch break after shooting this part.
Nan XiangWan was the most excited, immediately sitting down waiting for food.
...
Gu Beihuai returned at noon. Upon arrival, he saw Nan XiangWan holding a lunch box heartily eating, with quite a few empty ones beside her.
Passing staffers kept coming over to bring her lunch boxes.
That wasn't all. They also brought all kinds of snacks and unhealthy drinks. With no Xiao Dong around, Nan XiangWan had completely let herself go!
Gu Beihuai went over, first taking away the snacks, then distributing the drinks to other actors.
The little rascal had eaten wildly after he left for just two days!
Nan XiangWan rolled her eyes. She couldn't even have a decent meal with Xiao Dong around as a comrade, and now there was a buddy too?
Gu Beihuai: "Do you like sheep?"
Nan XiangWan: "Cumin or spicy?"
Gu Beihuai: "No, I mean pillows or figures, since you're a Aries. "
Nan XiangWan: "So I'm an Aries? No wonder mutton is so tasty!"
Gu Beihuai: "Right, sheep it is then."
Just then Feng Kai Ji walked over and patted them both on the shoulder: "Your scenes this afternoon, make the feelings real, got it?"
Nan XiangWan picked up the script beside her and started pondering.
But it seemed she didn't need to try too hard. Gu Beihuai as Wu Xing would do most of the acting.
Gu Beihuai already had the script memorized well, knowing exactly how to perform.
After lunch, makeup, cameras rolling!
The clapper loader clapped the slate succinctly.
The camera panned, first shooting an oddly shaped warship called the Stealth Bomber.
This type of warship had only one seat. Its color was so dark it seemed to suck everything around it in. It could be stealthy with extremely powerful bombing capabilities and large damage range.
The only downside was it being too thin, usually going with no return...
So the Stealth Bomber was also called the Suicide Ship in the Federation!
The injured and bloodied Red Eagle had apparently just been through a major battle.
But she had no pained expressions, flying swiftly with her right hand on the unlocking smart screen of this Stealth Bomber!
A mechanical electronic synthesis voice sounded.
【Highest authority, Red Eagle Major General】
【Stealth Bomber unlocked, hatch opening】
With mechanical friction sounds, various locks around sequentially unlocked. This not very big warship stood independently on the platform, ready for takeoff anytime.
Its hatch slowly raised. Red Eagle nimbly got into the cabin.
Her fingers quickly operated the controls. Just as she was about to close the hatch―
A big hand suddenly stretched out, grabbing Red Eagle's shoulder!
Red Eagle looked up with an icy gaze sweeping Wu Xing: "Let go!"
Wu Xing frowned, fire in his eyes: "Taking the Suicide Ship, you nuts?"
Red Eagle: "You giving me orders now? None of your business what I do!"
Wu Xing: "Can't I stop you from fucking dying? The hell's the Suicide Ship! No way back after the last shell, the warship itself! Get the fuck down here!"
Red Eagle still had that cold expression, resolute to face death in her eyes: "Look at the starry space out there, and the Titan badly hit. With a billion Zerg besieging us, do we still stand a chance?"
Red Eagle: "They were prepared for this from the start, lying in ambush when we were on our way back!"
As she spoke, her gaze hardened, flinging Wu Xing's hand off.
But Wu Xing was even faster. With some sudden strength, he threw Red Eagle out of the cabin.
At the same time, Wu Xing leapt right into the Stealth Bomber!
Red Eagle's pupils contracted. Twisting in midair, she pounced back up trying to seize control of the warship.
But Wu Xing was already well-versed in all operational principles, even able to override all permissions.
With barely any time, he had obtained usage rights to the Stealth Bomber. Next he swiftly input the command to shut the hatch.
The hatch shut tight!
Red Eagle watched powerlessly as Wu Xing was an arm's length away, just a hatch separating life and death and the two of them.
Panic flashed briefly in her eyes. Explosions sounded around from the Zerg's total offensive. The Titan's tail wing was also now damaged.
At this point, Wu Xing had started the engines!
He turned, flashing Red Eagle a grin in that limited view, then said something.
But nothing could be heard past the hatch and an entire warship.
Red Eagle didn't even have time to read his lips. She could only see that familiar, insolent smile on Wu Xing's carefree face, teasing glinting in his eyes.
That annoyingly familiar feel returned but vanished instantly.
The next second.
The Stealth Bomber shot out in a flash, disappearing into the black starry river!
